etorical questions as a stylistic device that serves for expressiveness and attracting special attention of the interlocutor, sometimes for greater persuasiveness. the rhetorical question is a special functional-communicative type, which, due to its wide prevalence in written and oral speech, still attracts the attention of researchers in terms of establishing its logical and semantic essence and the need to describe the features of its functioning in speech. however, until now there is no unified approach to identifying the main features of rhetoric in the interrogative system, and there is also no complete description of the pragmatic features of a rhetorical question. types of offers a sentence is the minimum unit of language, which is a grammatically organized combination of words. it has semantic and intonation completeness. a sentence does not always express a thought; it can express a question, an impulse, a will, an emotion. in accordance with this, there …

tence itself contains a question that necessarily presupposes an answer; an interrogative-affirmative sentence contains information that requires confirmation; an interrogative-negative sentence already contains a negation of what is being asked about (interrogative-affirmative and interrogative-negative sentences can be combined into the category of interrogative-declarative sentences); an interrogative-motivating sentence contains an incentive to action expressed in the question itself. main body interrogative-rhetorical sentences - sentences that are interrogative in structure convey a message about something, just like declarative sentences. sentences of any interrogative structure can be used as rhetorical ones: with a pronominal question word, with an interrogative particle, without special question words.[footnoteref:2] [2: hample, d.

(subjection) predetermined the division of rhetorical questions, subsequently accepted by most researchers, into those containing information in themselves and giving it explicitly in the subsequent answer. thus, the scope of the concept of a rhetorical question also includes a kind of question-answer unity, …
